25 Quotes to Help You Through the Journey of Life

We are practically halfway through the year and this is where I always find myself asking, what is my destination? What comes next? What other challenges or struggles will I have to face? Life has a funny way of taking you through twists and turns to the point that you wonder if the destination is even in sight. We’ve all been there- at a crossroads wondering what path to take and if it will lead you to where you want to go. The urge to just sit between both roads and just stop is sometimes a strong one. That’s when you start remembering the journey. Life isn’t easy, but the journey? It’s definitely been a wild one, one that at the end of the day I would not change for the world. All the lessons learned, the friends gained and lost, the laughter and tears. Just all the memories of where this journey has taken me is something I don’t think even younger me thought was in the cards for us. We all have our bad times, times where we lose our muse, when we’re lost and don't know where to go. My advice? As well as all the quotes to help you along - just take another step. See where it leads you.

The Journey of Life is Not a Straight Path

Your destination will always be an accomplishment, but your journey is where Everything took place. Life is not a straight path, and if you need a reminder (like myself) that it’s okay to make pit stops, take a detour, or that it’s okay that it’s taking you a while longer to reach your destination…just read through these quotes from others that took a while to get to their destinations in life.

Take the Next Step in Your Journey

The next part of your journey starts with a single step. Nobody knows what comes next, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep going no matter what part of your journey you’re in. If we knew what lay ahead in our life from the beginning, most of us wouldn’t even try to take the journey. But then we wouldn’t come across all the pockets of time that were memorable. So let’s take that next step in our journey, life may just surprise you.

• “It’s your road and yours alone, others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.” - Rumi
• “Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.” - Izaak Walton
• “It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness.” - Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Appreciate the Journey

Every goal, every destination has been challenging. Being able to complete a goal, or reaching where you wanted to go is always rewarding. It feels great and you feel like you’re on top of the world. Then you choose your next goal and start a journey all over again. Every accomplishment I’ve ever had and the feeling of success pales in comparison to everything that happened to be able to reach my goals. The struggles, the hard work, the people that cheered you along, and every moment along the way will end up being more memorable.
